How to Replace an Asko Ventless Dryer Drain Hose

Asko manufactures washers and dryers for use in commercial and residential locations. Their ventless dryers utilize a condensing mechanism, rather than a blower, to remove water from clothes inside the appliance. Water inside the Asko dryer is collected in the drum and passed through to a drain hose that carries the water to a condensation tank. Replacing an Asko dryer ventless dryer drain hose requires that you disassemble the machine to gain access to the hose area. This procedure can be done with standard tools available to the average do-it-yourselfer.
